Sister Honors Slain Paramedic Amit Man's Legacy Through Lectures

Chaviva Man Itzkin, sister of slain paramedic Amit Man, shared how her family continues to spread Man's story and values following her murder at the clinic in Kibbutz Be'eri. Man, who was murdered on October 7th, is remembered for her heroism and the light she brought into people's lives. Her sister described her as someone who "only did good in her life, saw the other, saved lives, and spread smiles."

Man's legacy is being honored through various initiatives, including a school for children with difficulties in Pardes Hanna named in her honor. Chaviva Man explained that her sister's motto was to "see the whole person and not just the wound," to "spread smiles and do good, fulfill dreams and live life to the fullest."

Contrary to the cliché that time heals, Chaviva Man stated that the passage of time only intensifies the longing and pain of living without Amit. The realization that she will not return makes life increasingly difficult.

To keep Amit's memory alive and meaningful, Chaviva and two of her other sisters are now giving lectures about Amit's life and story. While the core narrative is similar, each sister brings her unique perspective, which they find fulfilling and meaningful. The lectures, though containing pain and tragedy, focus on life and light, offering an optimistic message about living life fully and appreciating its precious, singular nature. Attendees often receive a poignant reminder of life's value and uniqueness.
